James Wolcott has a few things to say about wussy democrats....
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 12:29 AM by henslee
SNIP....

I recognize that most elected Democrats, stunned by the election results and feeling the need to sound responsible on such a tragic occasion, feel compelled to adopt this more-in-sorrow-than-anger tone that was one of Tom Daschle's less attractive traits. But look what good it did Daschle shaking his head with weary regret over the latest Republican outrage--he was still vilified as some sort of rabid obstructionist.

Republicans belch fire all the time without suffering repercussions, yet Democrats behave like some meek choir.

Couldn't we have at least one irresponsible, intemperate off the reservation loose cannon willing to say he is "mad" at Bush, indeed is furious with the whole lying lot of them (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Wolfowitz...the list goes on and on)? Because this engulfing fiasco is their fault, and the fault of those unwilling to stand up to them in the first place.

1. Enjoy his blog
I thought his message on how Democrats in the House and Senate need to start speaking their outrage at what has been going on for the last four years was brilliant.

2002 proved that being nice and cooperative was an absolute loser for democrats so we might as well go for the jugular like they do. Could be a winning strategy for us too.
